Apparently I have the RAM of a Commodore 64.

It’s almost as if there should be less working hours in the day so that people can get a healthy balance of physical activities, mental activities, and sleep.

Like the C-suites who sit on their asses all day doing nothing?

As they should. It’s their fault for lack of planning. Meanwhile they try to distract us from their faults with “it was foreign influence since we don’t have such traditions here” or “an unnamed celebrity was at one of the bars and people rushed to see him.”

Tenured so I got lucky.

If they’re anything like Japan they’re only “friendly” to highly skilled immigrants or poor exploitable immigrants.

Maybe I’m exposing my Americanness, but is there really a defined “heating season?” I adjust my heat or AC to whatever temp I need regardless of season. Asking outside the context of current events, obviously.

Truth is the management failed to offer what was needed. The wording of the title is open to biased interpretation that could be anti-Union or anti-Biden depending on what side of the fence the reader falls on.

They demand taxes from all expats even if they’re already paying taxes to their host country. I’m below that income threshold but still have to report my earnings, which is a pain in the ass since all the “free” file options won’t let me file for free. “Please pay with US credit card that has US billing address and US phone number.” I have no US credit card, no US address, and no US phone number so fuck them and fuck the IRS. I pay taxes to my host country that actually puts my tax money back into social services I need.

Just one more reason the Japanese scale makes more sense for everyone who isn’t a geologist.

Before the earthquake struck your location. The alert was triggered by an earthquake already occurring somewhere else, it wasn’t predicted.

Whenever I read news like this I imagine 15 million, 55-gallon literal barrels of thick black fluid just chilling out somewhere for decades.

Psychiatry and psychology already have objective standards based on the scientific method. That’s my entire point that you’re failing to grasp.

It has nothing to do with world views. It has to do with a) being mentally stable, and b) providing basic care, neither of which are the slightest bit subjective.
